In England there were laws telling people what they had to wear. In Plymouth we do not have these laws but society strongly suggests you do not wear luxurious clothes because those are reserved for the wealthy. Men and Woman both have two outfits, one for work and daily uses and the other outfit for church. The everyday outfit is usually made of wool and dyed in simple colors such as brown and russet. But the church outfit is made of drugget (a fine wool fabric) and dyed with elaborate colors such as red and blue.
Children under the age of seven only wear straps around their shoulders so that parents can grab them easily. Children above the age of seven wear the same clothes as their parents except they walk around barefoot. Adults wear leather boots weather male or female. Men also keep their hair short because it is considered sloppy to have long hair.
